I realize that we do get a lot of new posters here that post things that sometimes look suspicious. I fully see and acknowledge that. With that being said, not every new poster is trying to stir up stuff. I have a pretty good feeling for that type of thing. Im going to single out a post where its fairly obvious that the objective isnt discussion, its "stir stuff up":
You’ve got to be kidding! This is an unbelievable black eye for the whole concept of FSD IN THE TESLA CULT! FSD is the worst performing unsafe phantom breaking experience I THOUGHT I’DE NEVER HAVE! Unless i missed some secret activation mantra, Without 5 megapixel cameras and real radar FSD iS...

I am not pointing this out from a perspective of moderation, but with that being said, I probably shouldnt do it anyway. With that being said, the above thread creation and first post is very obviously (to me at least) someone who was posting to "stir stuff up". Pick a controversial topic, USE CAPS in the thread title and IN THE BODY OF THE POST to DRAW ATTENTION, express extreme INDIGNATION, Insult people who feel differently (bonus points for use of the word "cult").
Contrast that with this first post, where, at least to me, it appears that a person could just be confused about regen braking and why the car slows down when they take their foot off the pedal. That "puuuuusssshhhhh......relax and coast" thing is real. My wife drove that way for her entire driving life.
She only noticed it when she was driving my model 3, which she didnt like driving when I got it in 2018 but didnt understand why. I didnt even realize she drove her BMWs over the years that way except subconsciously. I started paying attention the few times she was driving her X3 and I was riding in it, and realized what was happening. I told her, but she really couldnt do anything about it (nor was she really interested in doing so). That is, until she decided she wanted a model Y instead of the X3. We discussed this very thing, and she said she would get used to it.
It took her about a week or so to be able to drive her model Y smoothly, but she drives it fine now. She never complained about it (probably because we discussed this exact thing before I started the process of selling her X3 and ordering the model Y once she was sure she wanted it), but I know it was an adjustment period.
Just like every post on "Im not getting my range" is "stirring stuff up" (but some of them definitely are), I dont feel this post is that.
TL ; DR -- This doesnt feel like that to me, so I am defending the OP here some, even though I fully acknowledge there are plenty of people who join TMC to do that. This doesnt feel like that to me.
